Back at the Miami Marriott Biscayne Bay for a 12 night stay. Once again I was able to find a special member rate within the budget – I’ll also be meeting with a sales rep this week to work out a corporate rate.
Â
Juanny, my new contact here, set us up with a great room (my wife decided to join in this trip) on the 31st floor with a balcony, view of the bay, cruise ports and downtown Brickell. This is a fantastic room upgrade from the room I booked. No it’s not the Jr. Suite I had a couple weeks ago, but I wouldn’t expect that level of upgrade for the length of my stay anyway.
Â
Our room had a nice welcome gift in it when we arrived, and I crossed the spend threshold on the 1st night. On the 2nd night, Juanny sent up a delicious charcuterie tray, bottle of wine and note congratulating me on moving back to Ambassador status.
Â
Once again, the staff that we encounter are excellent. The menu in the bar and restaurant changed this week. I’m not as much of a fan as the previous menu, as it is even more seafood heavy. Yes I know we’re staying on the bay/nearly oceanfront, but we’re just not seafood eaters.
Â
Paula, the F&B manager is another great asset to the staff. She does a great job of working the F&B areas. She has taken our feedback, and others that are return guests on the updated menu – all while explaining the new menu, and coming up with options on the menu that weren’t readily apparent.
Â
We have another week here and with how close we are to Brickell, will be getting out more this week to try out some more local cuisine.
